Review by Booklist Review
Ages 4-8. Similar in concept and format to I Spy: A Book of Picture Riddles [BKL My 15 92], this features 13 scenes of Christmas. Short rhymes challenge kids to find a variety of small objects in the purposefully crowded pictures. Wick's full-color photographs fill the large, double-page spreads with seasonal scenes, such as an antique workbench covered with wooden toys, tools, and sawdust; a closet packed with skates, boots, mittens, scarves, and sleds; a kitchen table scattered with cookies, cutters, candy decorations, and gingerbread men; and an old- fashioned toy shop window. Crisp and clear, these striking photos will provide hours of holiday fun for young Waldo watchers. ~--Carolyn Phelan

Review by Horn Book Review
An addition to the recent spate of hide-and-seek books sports thirteen color photographs of Christmas subjects. Rhymed couplets list the items that the reader must discover. The photographs are sentimental and unappealing, but readers will find the hide-and-seek game a mild diversion. From HORN BOOK 1992, (c) Copyright 2010.
